I lost both brothers last year. My most recent one in September. By October I was experiencing symptoms of POCD. I haven’t been able to fully grieve and fail to even fully accept my brothers death. I feel like my pocd May have been brought on by the amount of grief I have suffered but I can’t be sure. I worry it’s been there all along (not that I remember it) or that I’m using grief as an excuse.If anyone has any ideas pls lemme know

IDoes anyone else feel like you over come a thought/feeling and then it is replaced by something worse? I could obsess over something for a while eg. Thinking something or worrying about doing something and then I’ll sort of get over it and then it’ll be replaced by an even worse thought. I think I’ve finally got to the bottom of all my thoughts just one at the moment which is a hard one to get through.

I hi, I’m super nervous about posting this because even saying these thoughts make me question everything! In 2017 I lost 2 brothers to suicide, the latest one being in September. By October I was experiencing sexually intrusive thoughts about children and that I was abusive. I study a course which is centred around criminology so we deal with topics like this which I think may have been my trigger as these thoughts were not here until I went to the lecture on sexual violence and it just hit me.

OCD Action's Vision

OCD Action works for a society where OCD is better understood and diagnosed quickly, where appropriate treatment options are open and accessible, where support and information is readily available and where nobody feels ashamed to ask for help.

We are here because OCD tears families apart and leaves people isolated and exhausted. OCD ruins lives. It is a sad fact that many people with OCD delay seeking help. They put up with it for too long, perhaps thinking that nothing can be done or just not knowing where to turn. OCD Action believes in taking action. We want people affected by OCD to seek help, to understand their treatment options and find the support and motivation they need to fight back. OCD is treatable, it can get better.
